Chill! I'm Just Lookin'

Chill! I'm just lookin' is a bossa style shopping theme composed as if it were composed for Earthbound. It has a AABA structure and was composed using SNES Soundfonts from Earthbound (Thanks to William Kage). This shopping theme is a kind of response to the title of Buy Something Will Ya!, as if a costumer was just looking for things to buy and asking for time to do it without pressure. 

Something that inspired me a lot by Buy Something Will Ya! was the use of chromatic enclousers in the melody, and i love the kind of standard cliche harmony based in american music, so i thought of composing a bossa style theme with chromatic resolutions in the melody and a lot of harmonic cliches, and it was really fun to do! 

Honestly I always wanted to compose a shopping theme for a videogame, I guess the track is also inspired by the shopping themes from Pokemon and Animal Crossing because I love them. And this submission was the perfect excuse for composing a track in this style and for learning how to use soundfonts in my DAW which is Ableton Live. 

As far as mixing this track I approached it more by balancing volume, panning and a little reverb from the sforzando plugin, other than that I used a mastering chain with a little corrective eq using soothe2 and some limiting with the god particle.
